SignifyTypeExtensions

• This library is used to to type casting for primitive types and has built-in error checking while performing type casting.
• This type casting is extended from String, DataTable and Object types.
• Examples:

var dateVariable = dt.ToDateTime(0, "ExpiredBeforeDate"); // extends DataTable type
var boolVariable = dt.ToBoolean(0, "ViewAssessmentTranscript");
var stringVariable = dt.ToString(0, "DocumentReferenceNumber");
var decimalVariable = this.ToDecimal();
var intVariable = this.ToInt32();
var doubleVariable = this.ToDouble();
var floatVariable = this.ToFloat();

TODO: Add example method for each type

SignifyControlLibrary

• This library extends certain controls inheriting from System.Web.UI.WebControls that are used regularly on web forms.
• Some properties are added to these controls that automate some of the functions that are normally performed on this control.
• Controls that are extended are

<asp:Repeater>
<asp:HiddenField>
<asp:TextBox>
<asp:Literal>
<asp:DropDownList>

• Examples:

<!--
AllowPaging - switch paging on or off for repeater
PageSize
        public enum PageSizes
        {
            Ten = 10,
            Twenty = 20,
            Fifty = 50,
            Hundred = 100
        }
NoResultsFoundMessage - override no results message
-->

<!--
